Excellent work and clear, detailed, informative report!
Professional and thorough service, highly recommend.
Fantastic service from Murrins for the RICS Level 3 survey on a house we’re buying. Arranging everything was really easy and efficient, and they organised the survey directly with the estate agent for us.
We received the report just three days after the survey and were really impressed by how detailed and thorough it was. It included photos showing the issues the surveyor had identified, along with really useful explanations and recommendations.
Alex also called us after the inspection to talk us through the main findings, which was incredibly helpful and gave us a much better understanding of the property before receiving the full report.
We were really impressed with the whole service and would definitely recommend Murrins to anyone buying a property. A special thanks to Alex for doing such a thorough job!

Alex was brilliant as our chosen surveyor for a RICS level 3 property survey. The report was very thorough and has helped us with our purchase. Alex was always contactable via phone to discuss the survey and always rang back if needed. Even better was post survey we were able to contact Alex for further queries related to seeing an issue fixed by the sellers, and Alex advised on the repairs done which gave us confidence. I don’t think you’d get this level of attention from a larger company. Would 100% recommend for anyone wanting a property survey done.
We had an urgent requirement to engage a chartered surveyor and contacted Murrins, who were kind enough to accommodate me at short notice. Our initial contact was with Alex, who was polite, approachable, and professional, and who promptly passed my details onto Laurence.
Laurence was warm, personable, punctual, and very thorough. Laurence exceeded our expectations both in terms of turnaround time and the professional quality and presentation of the report. Most importantly, we felt genuinely supported throughout the entire process, which made what could have been a stressful situation far more manageable. Ann & Jen

We had a great experience with Alex as our Chartered Surveyor. He explained everything clearly, talked us through our options, and made the whole process straightforward. The survey for our two bedroom flat in Beckenham was completed quickly, with results returned within days, and Alex even walked us through the findings before sending the report. A smooth, efficient service and excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
We have recently done a Level 3 survey and were thoroughly impressed. Laurence provided an exceptionally clear and detailed report which, in our case, has already more than proved its value. He has also been consistently quick to respond to emails, which we greatly appreciate. The follow-up call offered further clarity and practical guidance, and booking the service was remarkably quick and straightforward. Overall, the experience was outstanding and highly professional. We are genuinely delighted and very pleased it was recommended to us.
Laurence was professional, efficient, prompt and thorough. Excellent service and I would definitely recommend for your survey needs. The report provided was in-depth, but also broke down each category which was incredibly helpful for a layman like myself buying my first home in need of a survey. Thank you!
We instructed Laurence to carry out a Level 3 Building Survey and were very pleased with his work and his professionalism. The report was extremely detailed, clear, and thorough, highlighting not only the key structural aspects of the property but also practical maintenance points for the future.
Laurence called me straight after the inspection to flag an important finding and explained it in plain terms, which really helped me understand the situation.
Thanks to his survey, we were able to raise the right enquiries through our solicitor and feel reassured moving forward with our purchase.
I would highly recommend Laurence to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and supportive surveyor.

I recently had a Building Survey conducted by Murrins on the house I am purchasing, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their service. They called me on the day of the survey to give me their initial thoughts on the property and followed up 3 days later with the full report, which was thorough and easy to understand. They were also very responsive to all my follow-up queries and questions. Highly recommend.

We were very happy with the service provided by Murrins. They acted for us in a party wall matter in Bromley and they helped at all stages and were very knowledgeable and the matter was dealt with quickly. Would highly recommend for party wall surveying and use again if we need a party wall surveyor in the future.
The service provided by Murrins Surveyors was excellent. The report was turned around in 2 days and was clear and helped us when making our decision about the house. Excellent service. Would highly recommend them for surveys.
We had a Homebuyer Survey carried out by Murrins on the house we were buying. The service and report were excellent. The report itself had very clear advice and recommendations, and it was easy to understand. They also turned it around very quickly (3 days), which we were very happy with. We’ve already recommended them to a friend of ours and would do so in the future.
We appointed Murrins to act as party wall surveyor for our extension in Bromley. The service provided was excellent and helped us to understand the process much better. What we expected to take a long time to resolve they managed to deal with in a couple of weeks and so we were very pleased and managed to avoid delaying our works starting. I would strongly recommend them to anyone needing a party wall surveyor. The service was great and they were friendly and professional throughout.

RICS Survey in Greenwich FAQs
Read some of our most frequently asked questions regarding RICS Surveys in Greenwich.
What type of RICS survey do I need for a property in Greenwich?
Most modern flats and standard construction houses are suitable for a RICS Level 2 Home Survey, whereas older, extended, or unusual properties typically require a Level 3 Building Survey. If you’re unsure, we can advise based on the property’s age, condition, and construction.
How long does a RICS survey take in the Greenwich area?
A Level 2 survey usually takes 1–2 hours, while a Level 3 survey can take 3–6 hours depending on the size and complexity of the property. Inspection times can vary for period homes in areas like Greenwich, Blackheath, and Charlton.
How quickly will I receive my survey report?
Most Level 2 Home Survey reports and Level 3 Building Survey reports typically take around 3–5 working days. We always aim to deliver promptly without compromising on the depth or clarity of our reporting.
Can a RICS survey identify structural issues?
Yes. Both Level 2 and Level 3 surveys highlight signs of structural movement, subsidence, damp, roof issues, timber decay, and other potential defects. A Level 3 survey includes a more in-depth analysis.
Can a RICS survey help me negotiate the purchase price of a property in Greenwich?
Absolutely. A RICS survey often highlights defects or maintenance issues that may not be visible during a viewing. You can use the findings, and any estimated repair costs, as evidence to renegotiate the asking price or request that the seller addresses certain problems before completion. Many clients find that the savings made exceed the cost of the survey itself.
